February 8, 2006 Murat Aktihanoglu

3 ) Follow readme.txt inside the RmOgreExporter.zip file.

4 ) Open RenderMonkey

5 ) Open/create some Effect.

6 ) Right-click on the effect, select Export->Ogre Exporter

7 ) Select a directory, click OK.

8 ) The Ogre exporter saves files such as:

foo.material foo_VertexShader.program foo_VertexShader.program.source foo_PixelShader.program foo_PixelShader.program.source

possibly along with some asset files ( such as Noise.dds, fur.tga, etc )

9 ) Create an Emma file that will refer to these files, such as:

Shape {

translation 0 0 -500

scale 0.5 0.5 0.5

material MaterialInline {

assetURLs [ :"assets/Effect_Workspace.Various_Wood_Shaders.Wood0.Single_Pass.Pixel_Shader.program",

"assets/Effect_Workspace.Various_Wood_Shaders.Wood0.Single_Pass.Vertex_Shader.program",

"assets/Wood0.material" ]

name "Effect_Workspace.Various_Wood_Shaders.Wood0"

}

geometry MeshInline {

url "../assets/ogrehead.mesh"

assetURLs "../assets/Ogre.material"
